A. Driving:
Please read these directions, which were provided by the Univesity, which will bring drivers into Bridgewater: Directions by car. The driver's final destination in Bridgewater will be Burrill Avenue -- on the East Side of the Bridgewater State University campus. We apologize in advance, because there is significant construction going on at BSU this summer. The parking lot that we have always used is being turned into green space; the campus is definitely in a stage of transition this July! Look for signs to Crimson Hall or the Dunn Conference Center. There will also be sandwich boards reading "Child & Family Conference" or "NRCCFPP" posted near and on campus to direct traffic. (We are not permitted to post signs in off-campus locations.) These signs, however, are primarily posted during daylight hours.
From the Bridgewater town center, follow signs for Rt. 104 East, which starts as Summer Street and becomes Plymouth Street. Pass over a set of railroad tracks and then take the first right onto Burrill Ave (which now has a street sign!). Follow Burrill Ave onto campus, passing the Moakley Center on left, the MSCA union office on right, the Burrill Office Complex on right, East Campus Road on right, and then take a left into a parking lot -- the Moakley Lot. We have been assured that there will be enough parking for conference attendees (without parking passes). If someone at the booth stops you, indicate that you are attending a conference in the Dunn Conference Center. Once you have parked, cross Burrill Ave and walk down East Campus Road, following signs to the conference. Several sets of residence halls, surrounded in chain link fencing right now!, will be on the left, as well as the Dunn Conference Suite, which is located in Crimson Hall.
